Chapter 680: Waving the Army to the North (8)
Thinking of this, Ni Fuguo finally realized a terrifying problem, that is: If An Lushan really rebelled against chaos and stood on his own, then who else in the world could stop him? Don't look at the fact that there are millions of government soldiers in the interior of the Central Plains, but now in fact, the government army system has collapsed, and most of the government soldiers have fled completely, and the terrain in the Central Plains is the same.
And when the Tang army is really effective today, there are only the border troops of the envoys of each section left, but among them, An Lushan occupies two towns, except for Wang Zhonghe, who has now gathered the elite of the four towns, no one will be his opponent. But An Lushan is not a fool, how could he launch a rebellion when Wang Zhongsi is currently at his peak, and he has also gathered the elite of the four towns, if he is An Lushan, he will continue to lurk patiently, waiting for opportunities, not to mention anything else, at least to eradicate all the threatening generals of the Tang Dynasty one by one, and then weaken the other border towns, and increase his strength by himself.
"Brother Ye, this matter is very serious, I don't know where you got the news?"
"Naturally, I saw it with my own eyes, the stakes are very high, I can't be vague, speaking of which, I was with Bai Lingfeng, a friend of the Yulin Army Military Aircraft Department who is now a Zhonglang general, sneaked into the An Lushan camp at night to investigate, it can be said that at that time his ambition has already been initially revealed, recruiting troops, accumulating grain, and casting weapons, all of which are manifestations of ambition. ”
"This, this has to be reported to the emperor, otherwise it will be too late!" Ni Fuguo stood up excitedly, now there is still Wang Zhonghei and the 200,000 elites, but once the matter on the side of the Turkic Khanate is resolved, after the three are obedient, these 200,000 elite troops need to be disbanded and return to their respective border towns, if An Lushan rebels by then and goes all the way south, who can stop him?
Seeing his appearance, Ye Qingcheng could conclude that no one really knew about this matter, so he had to sigh lightly and said slowly: "Actually, it has been reported." ”
"When, why haven't we all heard of it? It's impossible that no one knows about such a big thing. ”
"When I left Jiangnan and Bai Lingfeng escorted Liu Zhao back to Chang'an, he was promoted to Zhonglang General with meritorious service, and at that time he had already reported to their military aircraft department, but in the end there was no news like a stone sinking into the sea, and even he was transferred out of the original combat unit and transferred to the lecture hall to give lectures and serve as an instructor. I've seen him once before, and I can see that he's even been attacked, but I didn't break it, and I think that with his skills, there shouldn't be many people in Chang'an who can kill him, do you know what I mean?"
"Captain Ye is saying that there are also people in the DPRK and China who have been bribed by An Lushan, and they control this kind of news?" Ni Fuguo suddenly realized, and suddenly thought that when An Lushan also controlled this kind of news, even if people like him or Bai Lingfeng directly confronted Li Longji, with Li Longji's trust in An Lushan, and the stupid and funny behavior that An Lushan showed on weekdays, would Li Longji believe it?
"Yes, so it's useless for you to report it, the most important thing is that Li Longji doesn't believe that An Lushan will rebel, from the fact that he will let An Lushan concurrently serve as the envoy of the two towns, and if he does not change his guard for so many years, it can be seen that An Lushan's rebellion is doomed, but it is just a matter of time. That's why I'm here just to prepare for a possible rebellion in An Lushan in the future. ”
Ni Fuguo was slightly stunned, what did Ye Tingcheng mean? He appeared here to deal with An Lushan? He suddenly understood why Ye Tingcheng faked suicide in the first place, it turned out to be to get rid of the shackles of his original identity and lurk in the Tang Army. He didn't know Ye Chengcheng's experience during this period, but when he had been lurking in the scout camp of the Shuofang Army, he was promoted to lieutenant because he had not fought recently, so he was relatively low-key, and he encountered a big battle like the Battle of Sanggan River, so he got the opportunity to show it and was promoted to captain.
In his opinion, would Ye Chengcheng want to use the power of Wang Zhongsi to assist him to become a two-town, or even a three-town festival, with more than 100,000 powerful border troops, so that he can have the capital to fight against An Lushan...... No, he squinted his eyes, maybe Ye Qingcheng's plan was to take his place and lead the army to face An Lushan by himself.
But soon he shook his head and dispelled this thought of his own, because this should be unlikely, since Ye Chengcheng was still Ye Sanlang was able to do all kinds of things respected by the people, then he would definitely not have this kind of thought, if he would want to replace Wang Zhonghei, he would not be Ye Chengcheng. At least he Ni Fuguo wouldn't believe it, he knew Ye Sanlang's previous experience, and he also knew that his heart was all about saving the people of the Tang Dynasty, not for the high position of the envoy, which made his respect for Ye Chengcheng even stronger.
"Captain Ye, no, Brother Ye, please bow to me. He couldn't help but bend towards Ye Qingcheng and bowed deeply.
Ye Chengcheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "Brother Ni, it's time to torture the little brother." ”
"No, I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Ni Fuguo pushed Ye Chengcheng's hand, and said with a serious face: "I have served Emperor Xuanzong in the palace for so many years, and I have seen a lot of loyal ministers and traitors, but I have never seen Brother Ye so for the country and the people, and even if he did not hesitate to fake the illusion of his own death, he would lurk in the Tang army, in order to prepare for the possible An Lushan rebellion in the future...... Such a Brother Ye may be difficult to have even in hundreds of years...... Okay, now that Brother Ye has spoken, if there is any use for me, you can say that although I am half-disabled, my heart for the country and the people is still undiminished, if there is a need, it doesn't hurt for Brother Ye to take my life. ”
"Look at what you said, when did I say I wanted your life? All I want is your support and assistance. Hearing his words, Ye Tingcheng's heart was a little moved, he didn't expect that a eunuch who everyone scoffed at could have this kind of mind for the country and the people, it can really be described as a disabled person, and he can be called a model of eunuchs in the Central Plains for thousands of years.
"Listen to Brother Ye's orders. ”
"I don't want you to do much, one is to pay attention to the movements of An Lushan every time he comes to Chang'an, I will regularly send you a letter with the sound transmission technique in the dragon hunting secret technique, you can reply to the letter after reading the letter, and the sound transmission technique will return by itself; the second is to resolve as much as possible to make Li Longji unfavorable to me, think about your favor, this should also be able to do, you only need to make Li Longji believe that I have no interest in his throne, and I will not lead the people to threaten his rule, this is what he wants; as for the third point, it is the support of funds, and the support of other powerful people, as I just said, while you are helping the middle and lower-level officials and poor people in Chang'an, you will be able to enhance your prestige, which will also be of great help to you in the future, and then make friends with the powerful, so that it will be much easier for us to do things in the future. ”
